Hi there, I'm Diana Patricia! Are you looking for someone you can truly trust—warm enough to listen, practical enough to offer tools, steady enough to walk beside you, and engaging enough to help you grow? Therapy with me is a partnership where struggles can become strengths, where courage and clarity meet kindness and care—and yes, we might even laugh together too. Because you matter, and I want you to know and feel it. I draw from evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, solution-focused strategies, positive psychology, EMDR, and EFT.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are in the chaotic crossroads of change. People might think from the outside you look like you have it all together. But inside, you feel stretched thin, disconnected, or just plain tired. Maybe you are managing a demanding career, a changing relationship, or health issues that have taken more from you than people realize. Maybe you spend hours on your phone or numbing out to get through the day. What you want is to feel grounded again, to show up for your life with more ease, clarity, and compassion for yourself.

My approach is practical and supportive. We’ll work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, reduce the intensity of what you’re experiencing, and develop clear, realistic steps forward. The goal is not just insight, but the ability to think more clearly, feel more grounded, and move ahead with confidence.
I work with individuals experiencing: • Stress, anxiety, and burnout
• Trauma and high-impact life experiences
• Relationship and communication challenges
• Life transitions and decision-making
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or under pressure, I provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore you

Feeling stuck in worry, self-doubt, or a big life decision? I help people overcome anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and past trauma so they can create a calmer, more confident life. Hi there, I’m Lisa! A few years back I sold almost everything I owned, closed my in-person office, and started traveling full-time, despite the “what-ifs.” It was scary, terrifying... and the best decision I’ve ever made! That experience showed me how powerful it is to face your fear and create the life you love. I now help clients do the same kind of inner work: releasing constant worry, healing from trauma, and moving through life changes.

I work with individuals and couples navigating communication challenges, ADHD, anxiety, and relationship stress. Many of the couples I see are mixed neurotype—often ADHD paired with a neurotypical or differently wired partner—where differences in attention, follow-through, and emotional regulation can create conflict or disconnection. I help you understand these patterns and build more workable, grounded ways of relating.

My work as a therapist is grounded in trauma-informed, feminist, and attachment based principles that highlight the importance of safe and trusting relationships. I provide attuned feedback and guidance as you navigate sex and love, anxiety, grief and loss, the ongoing effects of childhood trauma, unlearning codependency and strengthening or softening boundaries. My goal is to help you develop tools for self-awareness, resiliency and intimacy building, and conflict resolution.
I believe deeply in the power of healing work, and the great courage it takes to turn inward, to turn toward pain, and to face and love ourselves.

It is difficult to know where to begin. You notice your relationships aren't satisfying, but don't know why or what to do. Most days leave you feeling like something is missing but you aren't quite sure what it is or where to begin. You are doing everything right but still feel a bit lost, a bit empty, a bit more alone. You may even think there is something wrong with you, and you need to be fixed. There is nothing wrong with you. Working with me will help you realize this truth. Then we can work together to uncover what has always been there. Waiting. Your messy and perfect Self.

My work with couples is grounded in Imago Relationship Therapy.
Thank you for reading! I imagine you are here because you are searching for something; an answer to your pain and suffering. People don't typically come to therapy because all is well; they are looking for relief from the pain. We will sit together in that pain because pain shared is pain decreased. And then we begin to take action to feel more in control of our lives. Taking action is the perfect antidote to that crippling sense of powerlessness. Yes, there are many things we can't control; we identify them and let them go. And, there are many things we can control, primarily through a change in perspective.

With couples I often use Emotionally Focused Therapy, The Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy.
At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY: You are one of a kind. There has never been anyone like you and never will be again. Therapy is a place where you have the opportunity to know yourself in a deep and intimate way. The journey towards wholeness begins with embracing (and discovering) our many and often rejected parts that comprise our authentic self. Wounds, triggers and defenses exist for a reason and represent the internal maps that lead to healing. COUPLES THERAPY: Relationships are the path to knowing who we are and I believe that what needs to be healed presents itself through the struggles and dynamics that get activated in partnership.

Anxiety feels awful. Your chest gets tight. You can’t concentrate. Sleep is rough. Worst-case scenarios loop in your head. A panic attack feels right around the corner. And it seems like if you slow down and feel what’s happening inside, you’ll get too overwhelmed to function. So you keep busy. Keep trying to manage it all. But it’s not sustainable.
The longer this goes on without getting support, the more your world organizes itself around the anxiety, and the more frazzled your nervous system becomes. Now it’s affecting your relationships, your work, your sleep, your confidence, and your ability to actually enjoy your life.

I'm a licensed psychologist treating individuals and families in the Bay Area for more than 20 years. My patients want to remove obstacles and recover hope, purpose and themselves. I help explore deeper issues and patterns underlying persistent unhappiness, as well as help navigate life transitions that are overwhelming. Adjusting to uncertainty, new beginnings, endings, isolation, betrayal, grief, and constantly changing conditions are challenging and can cause us to get stuck. I can help unstick.

The greatest discovery I have made in life is to embrace the unexpected, to crave the twists and turns as much as the great joys of life, and to lead with curiosity. Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.
